this happened in katrina. there was some uncertainty about what caused a particular structural damage. in katrina you had all lots of houses and structures completely wiped off. the only thing left was a slab of concrete. and so, it was very difficult to determine whether the damage was caused by the wind associated with katrina or whether it was swept away by the storm surge. there was a lot of controversy about whether the damage was caused by wind or water. that's important. if it's caused by water, then the national flood insurance program picks up the tab. if wind, the private insurance market picks up that tab. this storm, i don't anticipate there being that much controversy surrounding this issue, partly because, based on the footage i have seen, there have not been the widespread slab properties at a total loss that katrina had. i think, in the storm we will have a better opportunity for the adjusters to come out and they use a very scientific process looking at the storms, looking at the actual damage

and at some point in katrina's life katrina was a category 5. 909 mill bars. it was a wide storm. the winds were 500 miles from one side to the other. above 45 to 50 miles per hour. and the damage is just so widespread. we had winds almost 90 miles per hour in massachusetts and 70 miles per hour down in parts of north carolina. that's literally the north and south scope of europe. >> chad myers giving us some perspective as he always does. appreciate it very much. we'll take a quick break. we're watching the devastation, the impact on what's going on. we're also only four days away from the presidential election. our reporters are all over the country in the battleground states. stay with us. imimagaginine e ifif y yod alalwawaysys s seeee l e [m[mususicic]] inin t thehe b besest t lil. eveverery y titimeme o of f. ououtdtdoooorsrs, , oro. trtranansisititiononss® ls auautotomamatiticacalllly y fift ththe e ririghght t amamouountn. soso y youou s seeee e eveg ththe e waway y itit is memeanant t toto b be e ses. mamaybybe e evevenen a lilittttlele b betette. exexpeperirienencece l

>> in terms of size, we chased hurricane katrina in new orleans. this won't be another hurricane katrina but a different type of storm. you'll have more widespread impacts of 70 to 80 mile-per-hour winds. a lot of power outages. a lot of coastal erosion. basically from wherever it makes landfall. it's forecast to make landfall from new jersey. anywhere from there northeast you'll have a lot of coastal erosion and rainfall in the higher elevations flash flooding can be a big problem like hurricane katrina. this is become this hybrid so you have alpha sets of extreme weather. >> thanks so much for being with us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> here's lonnie with another check of the weather across the nation. >> i do want to start off, just touch upon what reid was saying. look at the path of this storm. how it comes in with a westerly component. that puts all that water into the new york place. nowhere to go. lawful will be somewhere around let's say atlantic city and it would be late monday night going into tuesday morning but that's the s

redlener, what did we learn from katrina? you and i spent many, many hours talking about the aftermath of katrina. so what's the big takeaway and when do we implement that across the country? >> there's one big takeaway and it has to do with the general condition of infrastructure across the united states, and a small part of that, though a critical part, is the condition of hospitals and vital health care facilities. have we paid enough attention from the lessons of the past, how to make sure the equipment has enough power, how the generators work, have we tested them properly? in this case, we tested generators, but we didn't test the fuel pumps. we didn't know whether they would function under conditions of flooding and apparently they don't. it's not -- you know, obviously, we're learning these lessons now under extreme duress, as sanjay said. we have to now expose pagss to extraordinary risk, take them out of their relatively safe environments in intensive care units and sliding downstairs in the dark. it's an unfortunat
